Will this be the best Christmas gift for those being tortured and tormented by this riddle?
Quin : I'm afraid there are simply too many mistakes in your translation to list them all. As I said, have a look back at the past threads, especially where Sir Bahamut posted his translations.
Free_Spirit : I'm afraid Bobby Corwen is far too prominent a character to be the answer to this riddle. Moreover everyone knows his name. The chances are very high that, when the name of the answer to this riddle is revealed, 95% of FFIX gamers will go "WHO!?!?"
The answer's Father David Lightbringer, the priest of Condie Petie

Actually, Father David's surname is Heavenguard. I had FFI on the brain when I gave that last name(I had a feeling it wasn't Lightbringer after I posted it, but since Bobby Corwen fit better, I let it be.)
Hmm. You see, the problem here is that he has effectively eliminated every answer. I can assure you I'm not 95% of most FFIX players. If it's in the game at all, in any way shape or form, I'll be aware of it.
The biggest limiter here is the fact that the character has a surname. FFIX is notorious for having characters without surnames. The *only* characters in the game that have them are the main characters, Lowell Bridges, Gogo Godfingers, Cid Fabool, Bobby Corwen, and the dwarves at Condie Petie. Since you said it's not a playable character, there goes the main cast. Since you said you can still access this NPC after Disc 3, there goes all of Condie Petie(so there goes Father David Heavenguard). Earlier someone guessed Lowell Bridges, so it's not him. Since you said you can actually meet this character, there goes Gogo Godfingers. Other than that, you've got Bobby Corwen, who fits every single clue given so far. As far as prominence, Bobby Corwen is probably the one of the more obscure NPC in the game, at least as far as his name goes. I am willing to wager if you said there was a character named Bobby Corwen in the game, no one would have a clue that it was the chocobo in Black Mage Village.
If I had to guess, simply based on your insistence that no one has heard of their name, I'd say Old Man Kukoro, the guy who gives you the Excalibur. I doubt anyone remembers his name being mentioned by the innkeeper, although since there is no mention of his first name, he's out.
So...we've got Bobby Corwen and....Bobby Corwen.
The only other possibility I can think of is it is a character whose name is not given fully anywhere in-game, and was only given elsewhere in some official capacity, like the Ultimania.
EDIT: There is one more character that has a last name, upon further inspection. The girl who runs the weapon shop in Dali is named Eve Subboard, as the little notice in her shop proclaims. She is not present after Disc 3(Part-Time Worker Mary takes over the shop at that point), so once again, she's out.

Actually, the name of the answer is given by a character in the game(ie. the 'watchman') so it's nothing about the Ultimania. Eve Subboard is also ruled out thusly, although I suppose also for the reason you pointed out.
Old Man Kukuro is a very good find though, although as you said, if there's no first name, he's out. The only other full name I could find was one Roodle Faux, but he was never shown in the game, his name was just written on an advertisement.
Well like I said, if it's in the game, it's in my memory somewhere, so it's just a matter of drudging it up. Worse comes to worse, I'll go through the game again like some of the others here. I have not yet begun to fight!
Also, after looking at more than the riddle itself and the previous two pages, it would seem most of the answers I gave have already been eliminated by other clues. Eh, pays to read all ten thousand posts on this thing first. Really, with as much information as there is on this riddle, I found it astounding no one has at least stumbled across the answer just by guessing. Question, if someone gave the answer as the NPC is named when you speak to them, would you even acknoweldge that, or simply say they are wrong like everyone else?
I would acknowledge that, but for the riddle to be solved I need the full name.
Would it be possible for the Watchman to say the name more than once if spoken to numerous times, or is it a one-time only thing?
Sigless
I think it's just someone you can talk to outside of the storyline, isn't it? In that case, probably.
Also, it's the answer we meet in the storyline, correct?
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of... ten thousand fists in the air!
Yes, we meet the answer in the storyline, but their real name is not revealed there. The Watchman can indeed say the name more than once.
